A blue and white pearl in Kokkino Chorio.

One can easily picture this property in the middle of the Aegean in one of the small scenic islands of the Cyclades. Every one of its elements seem to belong in that great tradition of ancient Greek architecture, timeless and omnipresent in the “Greek lagoon”.
Soft and clear lines define a well-balanced exterior that extends east and west of a central, two-floor body. The latter has a north-south orientation like an axis that cuts through a horizontal main frame reminiscent of a castle turret that is crowned by a pitched roof on top. The villa is built on a slope, a private property of 647 m2 that makes the best of its position to offer panoramic views of the seaside and the surroundings.
The inclination of the land follows the two levels of the villa allowing access through the ground floor where the two main entries of the house and the swimming pool are situated. The pool is framed by a wonderful deck, a part of it extending like an observatory platform where one can just lie down and take in the amazing views. At the same time, eye contact with the sea is permitted even from the back of the house, the tree-shaded “hammock grove”.
Inside an open plan space, spacious airy and bright, a living space that consists of a kitchen, a dining area, and a living room, dressed in light baby blue shades is what dominates the ground floor. Surrounded by windows both front and back, one constantly communes with the outdoors, a large swimming pool that covers the greatest part of the front yard and the olive grove on the back.
Two bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a storage room with a washer/dryer complete this floor. The bedrooms follow the same fashion and colors as the living space, they are furnished with floor to ceiling, built-in wardrobes with ample storage space. The views from the bedroom balconies are simply surreal. A big blue horizon in all its glory. The bathroom is fully tilled with a bathtub and glass water cover screen on the side.
The first floor is arranged into two large double en-suite bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom with a walk-in shower, all dressed in the blue colorings we encounter on the ground floor. The views from the balconies of the first floor are simply breathtaking, covering almost the whole extent of the Souda Bay to the north and the White Mountains to the south.
Kokkino Chorio, Chania is a cute, traditional village located in the region of Apokoronas. It sits on the Drapanos peninsula, overlooking the Cretan Sea. Famous for its depiction in the “Zorbas, the Greek” movie and its glass blowing factory, Kokkino Chorio preserves almost intact its traditional character throughout the years. Beautifully restored houses originating from the Venetian times and old churches are the main reason for wandering through the narrow streets of the village, leaving an overwhelming, romantic impression to every visitor. A local café and a mini market provide the standard amenities but for more options the larger villages of Kalives and Vamos are just 20 minutes by car. Nearby sandy beaches can be found in Almirida (3,5 km) and in Kalives (7km).
